Students

Cunningham Swan’s student programme aims to provide future lawyers with the opportunity to become involved in all practice areas and all aspects of legal work. The goal is to develop students into skilled and competent lawyers who will contribute to the firm’s growth.

On May 30, 2017, the province of Ontario passed key changes to the Municipal Act, 2001, the City of Toronto Act, the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act, the Municipal Elections Act, and other pieces of legislation. The various changes implemented through this legislation will have significant implications for municipalities and the public.

A summary of changes, including our most recent and updated commentary, can be found here.

We recommend that all council members and municipal staff review and familiarize themselves with these changes and seek clarification and advice to ensure compliance.
